Clostridium species showed various levels of susceptibility, with C. innocuum being susceptible (MIC90, 1 μg/ml) and C. ramosum and C. perfringens being nonsusceptible (MIC90, >512 μg/ml).
A reservoir of susceptible persons certainly remains, but levels of susceptibility in those <20 years of age should now be close to the age-specific WHO elimination thresholds.
However, carbapenem-susceptible P. putida had low levels of susceptibility because the MIC50 was only 1 dilution below the current breakpoint (7, 8 ).
Experimental modification of inflammatory responses in highly Bd-susceptible species could greatly increase our understanding of levels of susceptibility to Bd in different species or even within populations of a single species.
There are, says Steele, different levels of susceptibility to contracting mesothelioma, and for some people exposure even to a small sample of dust is potentially lethal.
Moreover, native species exhibit different levels of susceptibility to competition with P. juliflora, particularly in terms of plant growth.
Moreover, sex related variations were observed, so that women showed lower levels of susceptibility in the Sn after accounting for age.
Isolates of MSSA showed lower levels of susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (61 77% susceptibility) in both cystic fibrosis and neutropenia patients, and particularly high levels of resistance to ceftazidime (38% susceptibility) in cystic fibrosis units.
P. aeruginosa, Aeromonas spp., and S. maltophilia showed sustained levels of susceptibility to several antimicrobial agents in the two time periods, whereas A. baumannii exhibited very high rates of resistance to most antimicrobial agents including imipenem.
The scores are then translated into different levels of susceptibility.
Different hosts and vectors have their own specific ecological landscape and different levels of susceptibility to the organism [3].
